Was leaving Richmond mid-day and decided to stop at the Papermoon Downtown for the "free lunch" (in this context, free means you pay the $5 cover and order off the sandwich menu "for free" and pay for your drink). The mix of dancers was typical for a lunch time shift -- ranging for 3's to 7's, the latter probably picking up a shift to make a few extra dollars, the former because it's the only shift open to them by the management.

I sat by the rail while waiting for my sandwich to be ready, nursing a $4 soft drink (as I was hitting the highway when I left and did not want to risk a DUI) and tipping fairly liberally as I was one of no more than 2 or 3 customers tipping. Scarlet was dancing during this time and she was definitely worth second look, as was Paris. Maria was dancing when the bartender brought my sandwich and I moved to a table. After finishing her she came by the table to say thanks (as had most of the other dancers -- big difference from my experience at Club Rouge the night before) then sat with a group of dancers and a guy who may have been a customer, a bouncer or a boyfriend . . . hard to tell as he was not tipping and not getting dances . . . at the next table.

When I was done with my sandwich, Maria moved from the neighboring table and made the usual chit chat ("is this your first time here, etc.). I needed to get on the road, so I suggested a dance before I left and she readily agreed (imagine that). In the VIP area, I asked for 2 full contact dance ($60). The good think about this being the day shift and there not being many customers is that the DJ was not cutting the songs short. Two full dances was pretty close to 10 minutes.
